Inspiring ceremony for Pres Zelenskyy and the Ukrainian people in Aachen Germany. European leaders pledge support and desire for Ukraine to join the EU. “As long as Ukraine is attacked, Europe’s heart bleeds.” Ukraine fights for freedom for all of us.

Unforgettable evening @sigtheatre Sondheim Award Gala celebrating the amazing @Chita_Rivera She is a gift to us all. And I had the best seat in the house.

I’m delighted that @Susan4Arlington announced her campaign for Arlington County Board tonight to a large crowd @arlingtondems Warm introduction by Marguarite Gooden. Susan brings experienced, common sense leadership to the race.

Congratulations to all winning teams of @ArlingtonVA Manager’s Excellence Award. Thank you everyone for great service! Especially the top winner this year: our addiction recovery AARI team which helped reduce overdose deaths in Arlington by over 40% last year.

Thank you @wetatvfm @ArlingtonVALib @Theblackherita1 for wonderful @PBSAmerMasters film screening showing life, talent and soul of Arlington native Roberta Flack. Great music and history bringing back many memories.

Thoughtful discussion for Black History Month. Thank you @black_heritage_museum @columbiapikeva @SwissEmbassyUSA Museums provide refuge and education. Swiss Ambassador says experience shows that historic honesty can be painful with violent reactions, but we need Truth to heal.

Thanks @theusarmyband Pershing’s Own Quintet for helping @ArlingtonVA celebrate on the eve of Veteran’s Day. We are grateful to our veterans, many of whom continue a career of service in private life.

Great kick off to Urban Agriculture Month with @Matt4Arlington and @ArlingtonFOUA. Good panel of local climate controlled farmers. I serve on @MWCOG FARM committee working on regional food production and security. It’s all inspired me to grow potatoes!

Great visit to @JakesIceCream where 24 of 30 employees are differently abled. Enjoyed time with Robin Rinearson and two graduates of @APSCareerCenter PEP program. I recommend a visit. The ice cream is delicious!

Delighted to join in celebrating Vera Punke’s 107th birthday. Her secret to aging? “Don’t look to the past. Look to the future.” Happy birthday Vera!

Great Public Safety Block party @APSKenmore! Thanks @ArlingtonVaPD @ArlingtonVaFD @arlingtonvacert for a great party and for keeping us safe. Fun to see friends meet the bomb squad robot!

Wonderful experience with @Amtrak new service Alexandria to Roanoke. On time. Comfortable. Easy. Happy to travel with @VaRailExpress board colleague @DanStorck and neighbors visiting family. So much easier than driving and cheaper too!

Great start to the @arlingtoncofair with @CD4arlington @kcristol @Matt4Arlington @HopeforVirginia Boy Scouts and The Arlingtones. Fun rides, interesting booths and good food for everyone from tonight through Sunday.

Great book talk @ArlingtonVALib with Arlington resident and Fairlington neighbor @AminaLuqman Fascinating talk on writing, explaining slavery to children, the problem of book banning and fear of learning history. Can’t wait to read Freewater!

Inspired by @RepElaineLuria and pleased to support her with @Matt4Arlington @RipSullivan48 @TakisKarantonis @BarbaraFavola and many others in Arlington. We are lucky to have public servants with courage and integrity like Elaine!

Great Wear Orange event by @MomsDemand at the Hope Rock Garden. Thanks @DonBeyerVA @kcristol @BarbaraKanninen @NaacpVa for stirring remarks. Nation has mass shootings daily now. Guns are #1 cause of death for children. Crazy! We will persist until sane gun laws are passed.

It’s Business Appreciation Month. Great to visit @nature_org with @AEDBizInvest and see their green building. Nature Conservancy is a personal favorite I have supported since the last century!

Thank you Ronald Greene for great summary of issues in Arlington View, which go back a long way. I’m hoping the map and great summary will support a holistic approach to solutions.
